ADJOURNMENT Renting Reform

ADJOURNMENT Renting Reform Mr HART (Burleigh—LNP) (7.19 pm):

I rise to talk to the House about how unethical and dishonest this Labor government is. A couple of weeks ago the Labor Party announced that it would be looking at a review of renting in Queensland so they came up with this website. I table this for the benefit of the House. Tabled paper: Document, undated, depicting Queensland government website titled ‘Open doors to renting reform’ [1648].

One would not be surprised when looking at the minister’s Facebook page that he is referring people to www.makingrentingfairer.com.au. Where is one directed when one goes to that particular website? One is directed to a Labor Party website. How unethical and dishonest is it that Labor members are announcing a government review into renting and then they are directing people to a Labor website—for data mining purposes. Tabled paper: Document, undated, depicting Facebook post by Mick de Brenni for Springwood, dated 12 October seeking input on renting reform [1650]. Tabled paper: Document, undated, depicting Queenslandlabor.org website titled ‘How can we make renting fairer for everyone?’ [1649]. Mr Bailey interjected.

Mr SPEAKER: Minister, you will use correct titles. Mr HART: Have a look at the Facebook pages of members of this House. On the member for Gaven’s Facebook page she says the Palaszczuk government is launching a major consultation into renting in Queensland. Where does she direct you to? To the Labor Party website—for data mining purposes. Look at the Facebook page of the member for Lytton: ‘The Palaszczuk government is committed to making renting fairer and we would like to hear from you.’ They direct you to the Labor Party website—for data mining purposes. Ms Pease interjected. Mr SPEAKER: Pause the clock. Member, resume your seat. Members to my right, I appreciate the member is challenging and being provocative, however, I still need to hear the contribution. I will give all in the House a little bit more latitude. Member, can you please continue your contribution. Mr Bailey interjected. Mr SPEAKER: Pause the clock. Minister for Transport and Main Roads, I just asked you to use correct titles. You are warned under standing orders.

Is it dishonest? Is it unethical? Absolutely! The Facebook page of the member for Ipswich West states that the Palaszczuk government is delivering on its election commitment and directs you to the Labor Party website. Unethical! Dishonest! The Minister for Education’s Facebook page states the reason why the Palaszczuk government has announced a major review into renting and directs you to the Labor Party. Unethical! Dishonest! Tabled paper: Bundle of documents about consultation on renting reform in Queensland [1646]. Ms Pease interjected. Mr SPEAKER: Member for Lytton! Ms Pease interjected.
